since a few weeks on boot and shutdown i always get this msg: "/bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (de_DE.UTF-8)" more than 1times. It seems this dosn't effect anything on the system. i think utf-8 still works on the system. (how can i test, except with locale) "locale" shows this: LANG= LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 I've uploaded a bootlog for you with a few starts and stops. As a side note: I'm not sure but i think i have this messages since I've updated bash (to version 4).

1. it's better to set only LANG, not LC_ALL - but that's just a sidenote 2. is de_DE.UTF-8 (or de_DE.utf8) among 'locale -a' output ?

have you tried setting the locale to de_DE.utf8 ? Perhaps it makes a difference. My locale is set to : loki elfutils # cat /etc/env.d/02locale LANG="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" For example.

Thanks for the hint. This bug can be closed now..
Today i noticed the same problem. Everything else is working right with ".utf8" instead of ".UTF-8"? For example my language is italian and i'm using it_IT: - locale-gen writes: "Generating it_IT.UTF-8..." but - locale -a : "it_IT.utf8". So are they really the same except for this sh warning? Is it better UTF-8 or utf8? Gentoo's handbook and various guides suggest UTF-8, but if utf8 is a better choice we should change at least the handbook.
